Alien Wine taste taste test

[voltron]

Last year i decided to do an experimental wine. I made it inmate style in with the cap just sligthly open so that co2 escapes at it ferments. At the time i made it i tried it at the three month mark and it was cludy green, the same color as the original drink but it was good. Anyway i decided to put some of it in a wine bottle cork it and let it age in the bottle. It is about a year and 9 minths since i bottled and im going to try it today. i have attached a picture of the v8 juice i used. The wine appears to have not cleared probably due to peptic haze in the original juice as i didnt use any clarififer or pepctic enzyme , just bread yeast, some mashed up raisans, a cup, of sugar and this juice.

Just opened the bottled and poured, Still green and cloudy but has a very fruity aroma when i opened the bottle. Gonna try the inmate brew wish me luck

Anything with simple sugars can ferment or be fermented but that does not mean that everything that is fermentable should be made into a wine... How does this taste?

Amusing stuff. I would've picked something without kale.
One of my more novel ideas was doing the same thing, but with beet juice.

But beet wine has a long and worthy history... kale and um... bread yeast... less illustrious, I would think..

Well, did you survive? Go blind?

Survived! Im guessing based on my buzz rate. (this is based on my other dugeon brews) this was about 8 percent abv. I dont get too specific with dungeon brews as i just keep it simple. It was a good drink, had a strong pineapple appeal to it and fruity scent to it. Would I make it againL Yes but just as a small batch to give out as a gag or unique wine and call it alien wine or hulk wine. I made this inmate style and i am suprised almost two years later it tasted good. did nit taster like a wine but more like a hard cider.

.hey according to the ingedients list it is packed with vitamins antioxidants and minerals so it a "healthy wine" I do have a beet juice wine i bottled last year and will post it once i open and try it it

Maybe dilute it with a bit of apple juice and juice some kiwi for a little more zip. Ferment with champagne yeast and carb at the same level.
Or use a bunch of honey and call it Green Meadchine.
Ah, I give up.
